Humorous stories from Mystic Lotus classes:

Health and Safety is important, but it's not always boring. :)
Its great when students relax enough to share their personalities during training.

We are professional adults and we all have important schedules to tend to... and the fantastic thing is that while good humor doesn't take up any more of our time... it sure can make the time feel like it's passing quicker than it really is.

I had a student once, a professional woman in her mid 50’s that was the manager of the company that I was training. While she seemed relaxed and personable she was a serious individual and it appeared she was highly respected by her employees.

We were in the section of the First Aid training video that shows heat stroke and in this part of the training they remove the man’s shirt and fan him to cool him down. Right away, the woman started fanning herself and a few seconds later stated “I think I’m about to have a heat stroke looking at all those muscles on that fine looking young man!” At this point I had to pause the video and let everyone take a 5 minute break as the laughter just really overtook the room.

We laughed a lot during the rest of this class and not only did we end up finishing a little early, all of the students did their test quickly and most got 100% and all of the students passed without needing remediation.  I must say, this was one of my favorite classes.

Another time I had a student that was doing compressions and right before he was about to give two breaths he looked at the manikin and said “please don’t take this personal, I have a boyfriend and this is strictly professional”. Of course this put the rest of his company into a roar of laughter.

I absolutely love humor during class and also ask that people be mindful of time and that we stay on topic and that we keep side conversations down so that all students have the ability to learn the materials and get out of class on time.

The wonderful thing I have noticed in my 20+ years of teaching is that even though we do get the occasional funny moments, most people have been incredible at getting right back on tasks and about learning the information fully.  

When people are relaxed and fully invested in learning they tend to enjoy their time in class, retain more and be able to more effectively apply their lessons to real life situations. 

Humor is vital to keeping our minds and hearts open. Humor can create a relaxed atmosphere and causes us to breathe and to oxygenate our brains. This causes us to feel more energy and helps us to be present and relaxed.

Appropriate humor and appropriate timing really make a difference. The class clown that makes a lot of jokes can become disruptive and I will ask them to either stay focused or to step out of class.

Excessive humor can also be a sign of anxiety. If you find you want to make jokes often and that you want to go on and on and seem to not have control of yourself it could be that something has triggered a fearful or painful memory you have. It could also be that you are bored.

Here are some things to help with anxiety:

• Take about three deep slow breaths into your lower belly and release each breath fully. 
• Ask yourself what you feel uncomfortable about.
• Do some compassionate self-talk and let yourself know that you are safe in this moment.
• Ask for a short break if needed.
• Take a trip to the restroom and put some cold water on your face.
• If you have questions, ask them. Sometimes there is a void of information that has caused discomfort.

If you feel bored or feeling distracted:

• Ask yourself why you are taking the training beyond just that it is required for your career. 
• Try to relate the training to something personal, like an ill person in your family that you’d like to be able to assist should you need to.
• See if there is a way you can assist a co-worker or fellow student.
• It could be that you are bored because you do not understand the lessons or the importance of the lessons. Ask questions and bring yourself back to being present.

 Here are some questions to consider before taking a health, safety or success training:

• How can I apply this information to my career, social life, or to my long term goals?
• How will this information assist me with loved ones?
• Will the lessons in this training be transferable to other aspects of my life? 
• How will I 

Some other things to keep you present during training are to drink water, eat a snack, or create real life scenarios in your mind and imagine you responding effectively.

If you are a person that is annoyed easily, anxious, bored easily, or that has a high level of pain, try to find things to assist yourself before trainings. And please feel free to contact me before any training you are taking with me and we can go over some possible solutions.

The priority is that all students learn the materials well, retain the information and that they feel they can apply all lessons in the real world.

It is also important that each student feels relaxed, has a great experience and feels valued and confident in their learning.

I look forward to connecting with each one of you and assisting you with your success.

You have what it takes to take charge of your life!

From struggles to success. Ways you can step into the flow and shift your own life.

So many people are dealing with struggles in today’s economy.

The questions are: how do I deal with this emotionally and how do I overcome these struggles?

·         To deal with the struggles emotionally there are several things you can do:

·         Mindset is everything! Attitude is everything! The more you shift from the inside the more the outside will shift with ease.

·         Mindset is vital in easing emotional pain and in shifting your life from struggles to success!

·         Know that it is temporary: Knowing that things can and will change at some point allows you to relax your mind. Your mind, once relaxed enough, can allow it to flow with solution focused thoughts.

·         Know that you are not alone: knowing you are not alone can sometimes help you feel less isolated and it can also relax you enough to put in into your creative mind.

·         Focus your appreciation on what is working and on all of the success you have had so far: Appreciation relieves stress, opens up the creative centers in the mind; it frees oneself from worry and allows you to step into creative solutions.

·         Have a strong support group of friends, family, colleagues and spiritual people: Now it is very important to surround yourself with people that also have a prosperity minded. People that will understand your pain but not set there and wallow in it with you. These people will help you to problem solve in a solution focused manor. These people will help you keep your head up and looking towards the prosperous future you are creating. And these people will sincerely celebrate all of your successes with you.

·         Keep listening to audio books and reading books that are uplifting: This will keep your mind in the right place and keep you motivated and inspired. I will include some suggestions in the next blog.

To overcome struggles do all of those same things listed above and:

·         Use your time & energy wisely: What are you are you focused on? Complaining, thinking about loses and problems? Use thought stoppers. When you are caught in the negative spaces in the mind, visualize a stop sign and redirect your thoughts to music, or an activity that is really pleasing to you. As you feel yourself relaxed and in a calm state, then sit down, right out clear plans of action. Get a clear picture of what the circumstances are and then spend your time and energy focused on the solutions. The choices you may have to make may be “the lesser of two evils” but they are still choices. The more you focus on gratitude and solutions your situation will shift and you will start to see more progress in your life.

·         Are you spending time focusing on blaming others or on taking responsibility for yourself? Yes the actions of others can and sometimes does have an impact on us. But what is done is done so now what? Now what can you do? What have you learned (not “that you can’t trust others” but that you need to have legal protection or have things clearly defined in writing. See the positive lesson in the experience only. Looking at it in negative context only harms you more and distracts you from success)

·         Use Universal laws to manifest the life you desire: The law of attraction is one of those laws.

·         Study books that teach you about Universal laws.

·         Study the greats! Who has gone before you successfully and how did they do it? Who has failed, why and how did they do it? What can you learn from these people and businesses to assist you currently?

·         Look at things from a clear prosperity mindset: Are you looking at things from a proactive, productive, creative, solution focus outlook or are you looking at it from a reactive, problem focused outlook?

·         Personal development is the primary part of your success! Focusing on task alone is a loser’s road to doom. Focusing on personal development is how the highly successful succeed. They read books, hire success coaches, and work on themselves and invest in themselves first.

·         Developing yourself into a strong, confident, capable person shifts your success! When you feel relaxed, calm, confident, capable, assertive, etc., your mind works faster, more accurately, more creatively and you experience more clarity and attract to you stronger players in your team.

·         Attend success groups, seminars, workshops and public book readings regularly! Not only is this one of the most important activities you can do for your overall success it is a perfect way to network and build your business contacts and expand your customer base.

·         Know who your team is and how you bring them into your life and why: Your team is you, your friends and family, your colleagues, your networking groups, your company, your customers, your success coach, the leaders at the seminars and workshops you attend, the authors you read, your neighbor, your place of spiritual practice, the people at the gym etc…

How are all of these people in or on my team? All people that impact your life can impact your success. So therefore, they are a part of your success team.

You: Your energy, your focus, your level of confidence and skills make all of the difference in your success. After all, it is your life; you are the one responsible for it. And it is your own success we’re talking about here.

Your social circle: Your family, friends, neighbors, spiritual circle etc: These people support your success or they don’t. They contribute to it or they don’t.  They impact your life, your self esteem, your time management and your finances at times. Depending on how you are with them, with yourself and or how they are with you, can impact your success. Plus it is often our closest circles that send us the most business. Word of mouth is a strong marketing tool.

 Your business, company, colleagues, and network marketing team: Since we often spend most of our time and energy with these people it is the same situation as with our social circle.

Your leaders, success coach, spiritual leaders and teachers: These are the ones that reach you at a different level and in a different way than others do. These people have more of an invested interested in your success, are more neutral and act more as observers, coaches, educators and have a very strong impact on your mindset and your overall success.

 I will also add: Massage Therapist, Reiki practitioners, chiropractors, doctors, dentist, gym trainers etc: These people also impact your success greatly as they help you to heal through additional blocks, lower stress, heal your body and mind and help you live a healthier higher quality of life.  

Educators, authors, inspirational and motivational speakers: This is a group of people that can impact your life all day if you listen as you drive and consume during most of your down time. If you are an avid reader and consumer of audio books, mp3 downloads, documentaries, seminars etc, these people can help to remap and rewrite all the bogus information that has been bombarded into your mind sense your childhood and they can help take you from a poverty mindset to a prosperity mindset and affect your success on a very high level.

This is just a short article on some simple things you can do and be aware of to assist you in getting through the struggles of this economy. I will write another blog soon that will include a recommended reading list, some website links and more… Stay tuned

Have a very prosperous week.

Learn from those that have gone before you. Embracing and growing from our experiences means there are no true failures only lessons

It is important not only to study the "greats" but to study those that have suffered great losses.
We can often learn from others so that we can spare ourselves from the same suffering.
Yes their comes great lessons with suffering, but not everyone has to suffer everthing everytime to learn every lesson. We get to learn by observation as well.

When life comes to this (great challenges), remember it is those that have gotten back up, over and over that are the ones we call successes. If you are tired, rest a bit, and then get back up and get moving forward. And please find all that you can to be grateful for. Gratitude will project you quickly into the life you want and help you to maintain all that you currently have that you want.

When you forgive yourself for your mistakes or failures you allow yourself to heal and to get back up.
When you learn from your mistakes and those of others, you allow yourself to live in the wealth of knowledge.
When you appreciate all of the success, lessons, love, peace and richness in your life, you allow yourself to experience more of it.

My heart goes out in appreciation for all of those that dared to go before me and to share their journeys with the world so that we may benefit from the wealth of their lessons.

Welcome to our blog

I will be adding links to incredible websites, articles and information to help you stay strong in business and continue to grow even more prosperous.

Please tell us about your business and your stories. I will share links to your businesses as well from time to time so please comment or email me.

Sharing resources, knowledge and insight keeps us all going strong. Connecting with each other helps us all to succeed and experience rich fuller lives and more prosperous businesses! Together we make a difference!

I will be writing blogs that will make you think, open your mind to new possibilities and expand your creative flow.

After several years as a success coach and being in business for my self I have noticed some patterns that have kept people back, and patterns that have helped people move forward. I also network with a number of amazing people, organizations and agencies and will bring to you a rich variety of information.

Balance in business and in life is so incredible. Many people in this day and age are looking at having more money, more fun, more love and more peace in their lives as well as in their communities. And so many get off balance or try to juggle too much all at once.

We will talk about ways you can have all of this and feel like life is balanced and manageable. There are so many simple and creative solutions that people overlook that can have an important impact on your success both in business and in your personal life.

So often people are off balance because they put all their eggs in one basket, either business/professional or personal development and they don't realize that it takes both to make it work. We will be providing more information on this as well.

Knowledge, awareness and the willingness to expand is powerful my friends.

Please feel free to comment or to email on any blog that you see.
And please check out our website as well.

Have a very prosperous rest of the year!!!
